Uyararak

Uyararak is the adverbial participle form of the Turkish verb uyarmak, meaning to warn. It is formed by adding the suffix -arak to the verb stem (uyar-), giving uyararak. This grammatical form functions as a verbal adverb that expresses the manner or means by which an action is performed, roughly translating as “by warning” or “warning.” It is commonly used to link two clauses, indicating that the second action occurs through the warning or as a consequence of it.

In Turkish, -arak (and the related -erek) forms indicate manner and can express simultaneous actions or a causal-means relationship between actions. With uyararak, the subject of both clauses is usually the same, highlighting that the warning is the method by which the second action takes place.

Examples:

- Polis memuru, sürücüyü uyararak hızını düşürmesini istedi.

- Öğretmen, öğrencileri uyararak sınıfı sessiz tuttu.

Usage notes:

- Uyararak is typically used with verb phrases in both clauses; it does not modify nouns directly.

- It is common in both formal and informal Turkish and is one of several verbal adverbial formations used to connect clauses and convey nuance of intent, means, or timing.

- The meaning can often be captured in English as “by warning,” though natural translations depend on the surrounding context and the second verb.
